Food Ideas
Carry the theme to the buffet table by serving smoked baby back ribs, baby bakers (round potatoes), brussel sprouts, and offer a baby shower fruit punch that is light orange such as a spritzer with an orange slice inside. Tangerines thinly sliced would be adorable and round like the mom to be.
It would be great to get the guests together with a paper and pencil and write down as many songs that they can think of with the word baby in it. Some examples are: “I want my baby back baby back ribs….Baby’s got back (Sir Mix a lot)….Baby balooga…Baby Love (Supremes)…Baby-baby-baby (TLC)…Baby (Amy Grant) I got you baby (Sonny & Cher)”. Once the guests are finished, take turns reading them out loud and enjoy the laughs!
